Top 10 Reasons to Come To Convention



Shelf Reliance will be holding its annual convention on March 21-23 in Provo Utah.  

 In my opinion attending convention is the best thing you can do for your business.   Here are the top 10 reasons why.  

Hurry Early Bird Registration ends Jan 31, 2013

10.  New products—at convention new products will be announced (and they are going to be AWESOME! You will get to be the first to know what they are, have a chance to sample them, and purchase them. 

9.  Interact with other consultants—as a consultant most of the time you are working by yourself.  You schedule parties by yourself, you prepare by yourself, you do the party, you enter the orders, and sometimes it gets lonely.  At convention you will have the chance to interact with member of you up line, your down line, and other consultants from around the country/world.  This is one of the things I love the most.  I remember sitting at my first convention and talking to a lady sitting next to me (who I did not know) about parties that bomb.  It was so refreshing to know that I was not alone and to hear the perspective of others.

8.  Take a Tour of the Shelf Reliance Facility—You get to see everything behind the scenes.  This is so helpful when talking to customers about the allergens, because you have seen and can describe the seperatelines and how they function.  This is a great opportunity to bring all of your questions and get them answered on site.  Home Office Tours will be on Thursday March 21st you can choose which time you want to go;  10:00 am and 12:00 noon.  You need to register for the tours here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/homeofficetours

7.  Recognition—you put a lot of hard work into your Shelf Reliance Business and it is important to celebrate your accomplishments.  At convention you get the chance to be recognized.  Funny Story:  When I hit platinum executive I was pretty excited about it, so I posted it on my facebook wall.  My mom didn’t know what I was talking about and called me to figure it out.   The opposite is true at convention, when you run into someone and see that they are a silver executive you know exactly what it took for them to get to, and you can instantly relate. 

6.  Team Events—one of my favorite parts of convention is getting together with my team.  This year I’m planning on doing a workshop just for our team on the Q—how to sell it, and I have a few other surprises in store for those that come.   

5.  Give-a-ways—Did you know Shelf Reliance gives away a ton of stuff at convention?   Two years ago Elise won a laptop.  Last year the Macaroon Mamas (Elise, Autumn, Erin, Sariah) won $50 gift cards each.

4.  Get your questions answered—have you always wondered about a specific emergency product, or technical questions about how THRIVE is packages?  At convention they have the experts available to answer your questions. 

3.  Amazing workshops—at convention you will have a chance to hear from the top consultants about how they do it.  You can check out the specifics here: http://www.shelfreliance.com/elevate-workshops  these workshops are worth the trip to convention.  They are amazing.  Everyone I went to last year I thought “Why haven’t I been doing it that way all along?” 

2.  Get Excited—at convention you get to recharge, I love when I come home from convention and I’m excited.  I’m excited to try new things, have more parties, and really build my business.  The attitude of the executives is contagious; as you hear from them you learn how much they believe in us as consultants, and in this business.  Hearing their vision of the future is an amazing lift.

1.  It is the best thing you can do for your business—convention is really the absolute best thing you can do to grown/strengthen your business.  I love to watch new consultants come to convention and then go home and take off.  It is literally like they are on fire.

Raspberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes



This is great as a hostess gift (be sure to include the directions) or as a party sample.  If I sample this at parties I make it at the party.  This idea came from Shelf Reliance Consultant  Cyndi Tree. 



Raspberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes in a jar

2 cups 10 grain pancake mix
1 cup Freeze Dried Raspberries
½ cup chocolate chips
Layer the above ingredients in a quart sized canning jar.

To make:
Combined mix with 1 1/3 cups water until smooth—do not over mix. Let sit 5 minutes.  Cook on flat griddle at 350 degrees and flip after about 1 1/2 minutes or when golden brown. Do not pat pancake after flipping. Makes 8 or 9 medium-sized pancakes.
